Hello,
I recently had to seize goods to the value of £3,578.78 from an Indian Head Massage parlour in Maidenhead for non-payment of Business Rates.
I’m not really up to speed with all this mystic stuff – I first ate a courgette when I was 42 and I still don’t understand the concept of a meal without chips.
As the chief head rubbererer Eric, a tall lad with a touch of Shirley Bassey about him, scrambled around looking for money, I availed myself of his facilities. Naturally, being a place that deals with mumbo jumbo I had a shufty at a three-week old Guardian stuffed behind the toilet radiator. Inside was an article by that bloke from Tibet The Dalai Lama. Sounds like a veggie curry to me but there you go.
Old Dilly Dalai was talking about the benefits of meditation for a tranquil and peaceful life. Inspired, I decided to give mediationism a go.
So I assumed the Lotus position on the pot, tricky with your trousers around your ankles, rebalanced my cheeks, closed my eyes and emptied my thoughts.
“OOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhmmmmmm” I cried. I felt good.
“OOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhmmmmmm” I repeated. I felt better. Lighter. In tune with my life.
There was a small plop.
I opened my eyes and there was Eric standing in front of me with 26 pence in loose change. As I had reached a higher spiritual plane I gave him an extra week to get the money together.
I also told him to put a lock on his toilet door.
Be Lucky
Bob
Old Dalai is a wise man. No better place for meditation. And the ceiling with paint peeling off might be giving the impression of sitting under the Bodhi tree.
You set the scene perfectly Ankur
Locks are a good thing and so are chips with any meal.
Ooooohhhhhmmmmm!
Truly, the giving up of the…material…is the path to enlightenment.
Verily you have reached that plain Guaposan
“Old Dilly Dalai” heh heh heh
Tickled me too!
Brilliant. This really gave me a chuckle when I needed one!
Good!
I have often found religion on the bowl myself. Sometimes I feel like I’m in Heaven. If I had some spicy Indian food it is pure Hell.
Too much booze, perched over the bowl chanting oh my god…..
One really never knows where and how Enlightenment will strike.
When you least expect it!
It’s true. Buddhists are much more “regular”.
As clockwork
Guess who taught the Dalai Lama how to dance?
Not Gene…….!
